Edited by Charles Jennens, who similarly edited [Five plays of Shakespeare], London, Printed by W. and J. Richardson, and sold by B. White, 1770-1774. The five plays appear to have been issued together following his death, which ended the possibility of an edition of the complete works. The plays were probably also issued separately (Folger card catalog entry for Othello)
